Today we’re presenting a nice and short interview with Omer Perchik, Founder of Any.DO. This productivity app has been all over the news lately and racked up over 500K downloads in its first month.

How and where did you get the idea for your company(s)?

One of my friends had a semester @ UPenn and I wanted to go for a visit. The whole proccess of issuing a visa was just too complex. Coming to think about it, many of the daily things we do could be easily automated.

Who’s one person you’ve always looked up to?

Never had just one person. People I’m currently looking up to are: Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey, Jeff Bazos, Reid Hoffman.

What’s the most important action you took that you believe brought success to your business?

Assembling a kick-ass team behind this HUGE problem, from co-founders to employees to investors and advisers.

What’s the number one tip you would offer to a young entrepreneur?

“Be the change you want to see in the world” (Mahatma Gandhi)
